Around her and her nose, it was all filled with his scent, the weak minty scent was unable to cover up his strong masculine scent. Thinking about how she was pressed twice in a row… Ye Jian only felt her heart was shivering uncontrollably.
Even her breathing patterns had started to become shallow and light, as if afraid it would agitate him, as to his gaze… Ye Jian knew that she was scared to even look at him.
“We can go now, the head leader is still waiting for us.” She was acting so stiff and unnatural. She was as pure as a piece of white paper, the only thing that was left on it was the colors of him and him alone. With a profound smirk in his eyes, Xia Jinyuan clapped her shoulder, “After we finish reporting, we still have two hours of break. Today, you still have to interact with Miss Petty and the classmates in her class.
Ye Jian, whose body went stiff because of his clap hastily stood up. Staring at his back, she adjusted her breathing secretly, then followed closely behind after him.
Qin Xiu was currently translating a document sentence-by-sentence for the head leader, “…land reclamation equipment shall be provided by the Chinese government, a total of…” This was the land reclamation contract between the Chinese government and the Pakistan government. The moment this contract was agreed upon, the Minister of Commercial Affairs from the Chinese government will visit to hash out the details, until the moment the leaders of both governments sign the contract.
The land reclamation project was, no doubt, a beneficial thing to the Chinese government. Though it may seem like they have suffered a loss since they provided the equipment and funds, from a long-term perspective, China holds the legitimate usage rights for more than 30 years. Besides, the resources in this maritime space also lawfully belonged to China.
Once the land reclamation succeeds, in the future, China’s military fleet or whatnot could have a safe harbor. At the same time, it will also boost trade between China and Pakistan, indeed a win-win scenario.
The head leader nodded while listening, occasionally nodding his head, or he would point out some terms that were not favorable to China, “…near the maritime space, as to how ‘near’ that was, it’s better to have a definite distance, we must digitize it and make it visual…”
As long as the head leader pointed out something, Qin Xiu immediately wrote down notes on the contract, not missing out on even one word.
Everyone’s sleeping schedule was limited. Although it was said to be a visit lasting a week, even China knew the earlier this was over, the better. Confidential visits like these did not have a set time, unlike public visits, where everything in their itinerary was set in stone.
“This afternoon, young student Ye Jian will be going to Miss Petty’s school as a guest. Later, tell her she should rest up in the hotel in the morning, there is no need for her to accompany me out.”
The head leader made some arrangements to Ye Jian’s schedule. Originally, Ye Jian was supposed to visit the school yesterday. Still, because of what happened last night, the Pakistan government canceled the whole trip and advised Ye Jian and Miss Petty to stay in the hospital for observation.
The Chinese government refused their offer and secretly arranged for Ye Jian to go on a mission with the rest of the special forces.
However, she must rest up this morning. She was, after all, still a student, and not a real soldier.
Placing the contract back into the folder, he passed it to the staff worker that sent him the contract. Qin Xiu then asked the head leader with proper etiquette, “According to the plan, we will be able to end this trip tomorrow. Sir, do you think we should make some preparations to return home sooner?”
“I’d forgotten if you hadn’t mentioned it. We will return tomorrow night, there is no need to overstay.” The head leader glanced at the time, it was already six in the morning, “Go check up on the situation with the Army’s Major General, I want to speak with them.”
By them, he meant the Elite platoon members. By the time Qin Xiu arrived, the Major General had just finished his conversation with Ye Jian.
After staying in the head leader’s room for about ten minutes, only then did Ye Jian returned to her room.
She had a whole morning’s worth of time off, that also meant that she didn’t have to meet with Xia Jinyuan the whole morning…, Ye Jian, whose face was buried in the blanket, let out a long sigh of relief, then slapping her tensed face… finally, she was able to not see Captain Xia temporarily.
